Rss

So actually while posting last week about technology I overlapped what I am to speak about today - RSS feeds. I find them really quite useful. Especially, quickly scanning the news. I subscribe to the BBC news feed and its really useful for quickly scanning what's going on around the world. Honestly, I just don't have time to really look through news sites, but at the same time I still like to feel like I'm in touch with what's going on in the world. Library related RSS feeds are also useful for the same reason and that is to quickly scan the content of what's going on in the library world or just what some people's thoughts are on certain library topics. As we know blogs have provided a way for everyone to write on anything they want. While this is excellent for professional dialog one must remember that they are opinions: some are biased, some are whiny, some are insightful, and some are enlightening.
